SAY THE WORD - MERCEDES BENZ

Imagine a world where you can control things around you with your voice command. Well, in a way, you do it today with Siri, Amazon Echo and Google Home, but it would be even better if you could do it with your car.

Before the world moves to driverless cars, Mercedes Benz is introducing to the world, an in-voice command control that allows the drivers to play music of their choice, turn the colour of lights, navigate through the roads and much more.

The feature has been introduced through a very eye catching advert that has special effects thrown in, making the commercial quite an enjoyable and memorable one. It seems to be an attempt from Mercedes to attract the younger clientele that tends to veer towards BMW and Audi because of the positioning that #Mercedes has built for itself over the years.

Analog Innovation in a Digital World

On a recent trip to Berlin, Germany I got a chance to visit their famous World Clock, which shows the current time in 148 cities around the world! You can stand at different points and read the name of the city and the current time in that city. While today we have access to the time of any city at the press of our fingertips, what makes this clock special is that it was installed in 1969 when technology was not as advanced as today. 

Designed by a lecturer Erich John, the construction of the clock required more than 120 engineers and a sculptor to put it together. In 2015, the German government declared the clock as a historically and culturally significant monument.

This clock has stood the test of time and it is still accurate in its analog timing in the current digital world. It is a masterpiece of innovation and engineering.hashtag
